A double birthday celebration was held at Parish Social Action Committee (PSAC) for our very own Hong Kong Junior Team Leader KERRI ANNE MARTINEZ and her cousin JAY MARTINEZ.

Though they are miles apart, the cousins wanted to celebrate their birthday in a truly meaningful way by sharing their blessings with the children of PSAC in Batangas, Philippines. Their wishes were granted when food & drink, games, gifts, and prizes were given to more than 120 kids. Thank you so much, JTL Kerri and PP Hero Jay, for giving these kids a great time on your special day! We would also like to thank PSAC's President, Liza de Jesus, and the amazing PSAC volunteers for making this happen!

PSAC's mission is to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate in the Philippines; not only by helping them meet their needs, but also encourage a positive outlook on life. If you would like to celebrate your birthday the Pusong Pinoy way, please contact our Charter Team Leader Jay Martinez at tl.tinytony@ymail.com or HK Vice-Team Leader Carol Vega at vegacarol@mac.com.

Last month, Pusong Pinoy acknowledged receipt of 6 large balikbayan boxes sent to the Philippines by DENNIS JARIN, Founder of Toy Run Foundation Inc. Dennis organized a hugely successful book and school supplies drive in New Jersey to benefit Pusong Pinoy's recipients last December.

On March 5th, members of PP's Philippine Core Team namely JOCEL ESTOQUE, SUSAN CHUA, BENG DIZON, CLAUDETTE LAGMAN, as well as Quezon City Team Leader LANCE BUCOY, got together to count and sort through hundreds of items donated by our generous heroes from Ocean County, New Jersey. Pusong Pinoy would like to acknowledge receipt of the following items:

We have now officially ended our 2nd Annual Scholarship Project - DONASYON PARA SA EDUKASYON 2 (Donation for Education). We are grateful to all the heroes who have given their support for this successful venture. We are not only sponsoring our 17 existing scholars, but we have added 16 more scholars!

Thanks to our generous HEROES for sponsoring the following scholars for another school year at De La Salle Lipa! You have helped these scholars take one step closer to their dreams!

Special thanks to our Arizona PP Coordinator JOCELIN OLIVIER for leading this project and to YENG LIBAT of DLSL for providing us all the information about the scholars! A formal presentation of the scholarships will be held this month. Please check our website for updates and pictures. Click HERE to read more about this project.

PUSONG PINOY meaning "Heart of a Filipino"

About Us

PUSONG PINOY

A group of family and friends wanting to make a difference, one book at a time. Since its inception in 2009, Pusong Pinoy became a force of over 88,000 HEROES worldwide via Facebook trying to make a difference - one book, one meal, one piece of clothing at a time. Our mission is to provide assistance to organizations in the Philippines that have effective programs designed to help marginalized kids learn and appreciate reading by donating used books to their cause. It is our hope that this site would inspire others to open their hearts and help make a difference in these children's lives. Today, we begin by collecting books and donating food items but perhaps someday we can do more. Let this be our means to pay it forward and give back to our country we love so dearly. "Pagtanaw sa pinanggalingan upang makatulong sa kinabukasan" - yan ang Pusong Pinoy
